Why I’m against Obasanjo — Kashamu

The Chairman, Organisation and
Mobilisation Committee of the
Peoples Democratic Party in the
South-West, Buruji Kashamu, has
said he has been at war with former
President Olusegun Obasanjo due
to their clash of interests.
Kashamu said while some
members of the PDP were fighting
for the interest of the South-West
in the party, the ex-President was
seeking personal political
fulfilment.
In an interview with our
correspondent, the PDP financier
said his camp has been disagreeing
with Obasanjo because he
allegedly imposes people on other
people.
He said, “PDP has been liberated.
When Baba Obasanjo was
controlling the whole of South-
West (PDP); that was what
happened (marginalisation) and
that is why we have been fighting
since those days.
“Not that I hate Baba Obasanjo; it is
not that I don’t have respect for
elders; but we are tired of people
who will be saying something
today and be saying another thing
tomorrow. We are tired of
imposition. We are tired of selfish
interests.
“The people who are supposed to
join their hands together and fight
for the future of our children; are
not doing that. They are doing
whatever negotiations they want
to do for their selfish interests. That
is what has dragged us behind the
scene.”
Kashamu said unlike what obtained
when Obasanjo was leading the
PDP, members of the party could
now function independently
without interference from higher
authorities.
Obasanjo had at different occasions
criticised Kashamu for being
allowed to lead the party in the
South-West.
The ex-President, who resigned his
appointment as the Chairman of
the Board of Trustees of the PDP,
has refrained from being active in
the party until Kashamu is sacked
